Why the lifting of mask mandates *should* worry you....

We are not the party of I-Got-Mine-So-Fuck-You. Even if you are vaccinated, as I am, this should concern you. Do you have any friends or relatives with any risk factors??? Do you have any?

There are a lot of unvaccinated people out there. I remember a time when there was talk about hospitals being overwhelmed. There are medical people who have killed themselves, because it was that bad.

It is short sighted to say we are vaccinated, so the unvaccinated can take care of themselves. If this were a movie, Peter Parker would be muttering he got his. Later that week Aunt May would be going to the hospital for a heart attack, only to be turned away due to overcrowding and no facilities to help her.

There are enough unvaccinated people, I an truly afraid this is a scenario we will soon be facing. Just because you and your family are vaccinated, don’t feel smug. How will you feel when hospitals cannot handle the load? What happens when a vaccinated person is in dire need of an ER, either from a health problem or maybe a car accident? When will we truly understand, on both sides, we are all interconnected.

Today is two weeks since my second shot. I am fully vaccinated. I am still fearful for our country. This situation is a recipe for our hospitals being overrun. I know I have risk factors. I do not feel smug. I do not feel safe. I have been in more than one car accident where I needed medical care. Do not be mistaken, it will not only be the unvaccinated who suffer.

I hope this does not happen, but I see how many people got sick and died under mandatory masks. I cannot fathom that number will now go down. I fear our medical system could break under the strain. I fear vaccinated people will die, or suffer, even though it will not be a direct result of having COVID.
